Run or Reign

"I like writing flawed women, and being one, it's something I feel I can write with some veracity and authority." 

~Callie Khouri

Though I have never really written a character, I write for the flawed woman.
I am flawed.
I have learned to embrace my flaws. In sharing my flaws, I learned the power of testimony.
I also learned how to testify; shining light on my dark moments....

I didn't realize this until my friend, Cordelia, sent me this text:
"Love you more. Thank you for showing me how to be transparent. #NotOnMyWatch"

Her text showed me five things:
1. I no longer run, but reign over my flaws and the darkness.
2. Even I cannot remove jewels from the crown God gave me.
3. Those jewels are the light that removes power from the enemy's hand.
4. Like it or not, you are an example to someone.
5. You choose the impact you have on yourself and others.

With the many pressures of society, it can be difficult to remain true to oneself.
It isn't an easy feat to be your authentic self without risking ridicule, being shunned, or unaccepted.

Welcome to Corie's Corner!
This corner of the world wide web gives me a voice.
In this nook, I can be unapologetically ME.
